Hello,
I do not know what actually happened, but I was doing the settlement blockade thingy. And after I initiated the signal scrambler, by lord God above, Black Tusk is coming out faster than I can say "oh shet". In the end, I was astonished at the sight of tens of warhounds lobbing grenades at me and it feels like the 4th of July while I'm covering (cowering) behind the railing of that blockade thingy. And a second after that, so dead.
It's fun tho, but for sure that's a bug right?
I had the same issue. I think there were 2 minigun hounds, 2 grenadier hounds, several grenadiers, gunners, riflemen, and a heavy minigunner. I was like "Whoah that's a heavy response team". I couldn't stay in cover for all of the grenades coming in and when I left cover I was getting shot from every direction. I died twice but luckily was able to respawn at MLK library. I had to kite some of them out and had some help from some civilian support at the checkpoint. After I finished with the last of them I completed the hack I was greeted with the standard "reinforcement" team of 4 Black Tusk.........
Similar thing happened to me once, a while back in TU7. Was a definite Ron Burgundy moment (Well...THAT escalated quickly! lol) If I was fighting one Black Tusk, I was fighting 50. I don't know if maybe there were other events nearby (roaming patrols, etc) that got mixed into the blockade activity, but man, it felt like every damn Black Tusk in the city descended on that place at once.
I had to perform a similar strategy: after dying and respawning at MLK library, I kited a few at a time around the corner and whittled them down until I was finally able to finish the activity. Had to be one of the craziest things I've had happen in this game.
Most of the time I can't get the signal scrambler to work. So I arrive at the blockade, kill the 2-3 guys on guard but then I have to start the assault by activating the scrambler on the bridge, but 75% of the cases I can't. fast travel and come back, ... nothing. Only logging out/in seems to work sometimes.
The Scrambler is "lit" up, but there is no way to activate it.
EDIT: for clarity
